[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 4102724, member: 6533"] I'm building mine off of North America in the wake of the Columbian plagues. A continent of diverse cultures at all manner of levels of sophistication. Then it gets hit by a plague that wipes out anywhere from 50% to 95% of the populace. The places that survive aren't those that were spared by the plague. It's those that were in gentle enough areas that people could still feed themselves once they lost most of the population. In the wake of the plagues the whole ecology has changed. New creatures have show up, old ones have new habits, and new peoples have arrived as well. A new cultural practice has developed as well. Prophets in the aftermath of the plague spread to the peoples the old ways of the pilgrim roads by which the peoples lived together adn hosted each other. Those who follow these revived ways live often live in diverse heterogenous communities. And even those who live in the old communities and nations still welcome all those who follow the Pilgrim ways. The Pilgrim peoples are scattered and far apart, and there is still tension between them. Their ability to cooperate, however, and their sense that they should do something to abbrogate the chaos has given them hope. Now they sponsor Pilgrims errant who wander in small bands between the pilgrim communities bringing a new sense of heroism, trade, and culture to the ravaged lands. [/QUOTE]
